Acne, congestion, and persistent breakouts can be frustrating to manage – especially when traditional skincare routines don’t deliver results. If you’re searching for a non-invasive, results-driven treatment to help combat acne and congestion, Hydrafacial could be the solution.
At Little Foray, Thames Ditton, we offer the Hydrafacial to help our clients from Molesey, Richmond, Chessington, Esher, Walton-on-Thames, Claygate, and beyond achieve clearer, healthier skin with no downtime.
How Does a Hydrafacial Help Acne-Prone and Congested Skin?
A Hydrafacial is a medical-grade facial that deep cleans, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with hydrating and clarifying serums. It’s particularly effective for oily, acne-prone, or congested skin, as it:
✔️ Unclogs pores by extracting dirt, oil, and bacteria
✔️ Removes dead skin cells that can cause breakouts
✔️ Hydrates and soothes the skin to prevent post-treatment dryness
✔️ Delivers powerful acne-fighting ingredients deep into the skin
✔️ Reduces inflammation and redness, making active breakouts less visible
Unlike traditional facials that can leave skin irritated or red, a Hydrafacial is gentle, yet highly effective, and can be tailored to your skin’s needs.
Benefits of Hydrafacial for Acne-Prone & Congested Skin
✨ Clears blocked pores – Hydrafacial uses vacuum extraction to remove blackheads, excess oil, and bacteria from deep within the skin.
✨ Prevents future breakouts – A build-up of oil and dead skin cells is a major cause of acne. Hydrafacial helps prevent congestion before it starts.
✨ Soothes redness and irritation – Hydrating and anti-inflammatory serums reduce the appearance of angry, inflamed breakouts.
✨ Balances oil production – Overactive oil glands contribute to acne. Hydrafacial regulates oil levels to prevent excessive shine and clogged pores.
✨ Gentle yet effective – Unlike harsh peels or abrasive treatments, Hydrafacial is suitable even for sensitive skin.
What to Expect During a Hydrafacial Treatment
At Little Foray, Thames Ditton, our Hydrafacial treatment is customised to target acne and congestion, following these key steps:
1. Deep Cleanse & Exfoliation
We start with gentle exfoliation and resurfacing, removing dead skin cells and build-up that can clog pores.
2. Gentle Extraction
A painless vacuum-powered extraction removes impurities, excess oil, and blackheads from deep within the pores.
3. Hydration & Nourishment
We infuse the skin with a cocktail of hydrating, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory serums to keep breakouts at bay.
4. LED Light Therapy (Optional)
For clients struggling with acne, we often recommend blue LED light therapy, which targets acne-causing bacteria and speeds up healing.
Each treatment takes around 25-75 minutes, and you’ll see an instant glow and improvement in skin clarity.
Who is Hydrafacial Not Suitable For?
While Hydrafacial is safe for most skin types, it may not be suitable if you:
🚫 Have severe cystic acne – Stronger dermatological treatments may be required first.
🚫 Are currently taking Roaccutane or strong acne medications – We recommend waiting six months after finishing medication.
🚫 Have open wounds or active skin infections – It’s best to wait until your skin has healed.
If you’re unsure whether Hydrafacial is right for you, book a consultation, and we’ll tailor the best treatment plan for your skin.
Post-Treatment Care: How to Maintain Results
✔️ Avoid makeup for at least 12 hours to let your skin breathe.
✔️ Stay hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins.
✔️ Use gentle skincare products – Avoid harsh scrubs or acids for at least 48 hours.
✔️ Always wear SPF 30+ – Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun post-treatment.
✔️ Stick to a consistent routine – Regular facials and a professional homecare routine will keep acne under control.
For best results, we recommend monthly Hydrafacial treatments, especially if you have persistent acne or congestion.
